It's the international word clown's 10th solo show. Southern brings a winning mix of HD jokes and stories plus 4G super fast improvisation. Why the title? In 2001 Southern first took a solo show to the Edinburgh Fringe, and a dapper Swedish garage rock band released the album Your New Favourite Band. After a lifetime devoted to quality comedy, he's ready to be an overnight success. Nominated for Best Comedy and total sell-out (Perth Fringe 2014). Nominated for Best Show (New Zealand Comedy Festival 2012). Total sell-out Melbourne Comedy Festival 2011-13.

Finally after 20 years in comedy Gordon Southern is ready to be an overnight success! Back with his 10th solo show to the Edinburgh Festival, Gordon Southern: Your New Favourite Comedian, is finally prepared for the trappings of fame. His first show was in 2001, the same year that dapper rock combo The Hives released the album Your New Favourite Band the music and attitude of the Swedish 5 piece frames this year's show and just like The Hives he is phenomenal live and criminally underrated.

Mapping his life from 18-21, Gordon talks about his early years as a young man growing up in Essex. Early adventures in food and beverage, in love, longing and tragic lost. Fast-forward to 2004 and a wine tour of Australia where he meets his future wife but not without its obstacles! An amazing true story that if it were the plot to a one-man comedy show would seem implausible and contrived.

Now living part in the UK and part in Australia, Gordon is a regular headlining comedian on UK and abroad. A highly regarded international act, he's worked in many exotic & challenging places. He's sold out a 700 seat theatre with a solo show in Mumbai, India, headlined the first ever Serbian comedy festival, and has regularly headlined in Singapore, Dubai, Cyprus and New Zealand.

Gordon made his Edinburgh debut in the highly respected Comedy Zone in 1997 and has since gone on to take up several successful and acclaimed solo shows, With 2012's A Brief History of History receiving award nominations at the New Zealand Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe. He has enjoyed sell out runs at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from 2011- 2013. In 2014 he sold every single ticket for his show The Kerfuffle in Perth Fringe and received a nomination for best show and sold out Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his new laugh packed show.

He also has a Time Out comedy award from his days with BBC Radio 4's Cheese Shop comedy sketch team. TV credits include Good News Week (Australian equivalent of Have I Got News For You), Tonight With Trevor McDonald, Stand-up Australia, Mischief and Time Gentlemen Please amongst many others. He has many writing credits, most recently for Ronnie Corbett's BBC 1 show The One Ronnie that was nominated for a British Comedy award.
